Best AM3 Processor currently available?

I've been getting into video editing and recording a lot lately, and ATM my processor is being a huge bottleneck if I want to make a game video on something like Bad Company or BlOps. What are the best processors available currently, and are there any new things about to come out? My motherboard is only AM2+, but I'm pretty sure it will still accept any AM3 processors.

The new AM3+/Bulldozer CPUs which come out fairly soon won't work on AM2. And at this point, there's not much chance of any substantially better CPUs coming out for AM3.Edited by t-ramp - 3/24/11 at 1:07pm
